So in sketching out my Indiana Jones themed Halloween, I started counting up how many skulls I would need...yeah, it's quite a few. So I started to look around for bulk skulls and such online. Bit of a difficulty in the midst of May. The dollar store usually has them, and it may be a matter of just buying them up as many as possible. But in the meantime, to combat the anxiety of that, I found this lovely tutorial about making your own skulls from already owned skulls. Basically you're covering said skull with aluminum foil, then paper macheing several layers, breaking it open in pieces, and reassembling it before adding a few more layers. So I decided to try this method out on two of my nicer skulls just to see what kind of a time and work commitment it would be compared to the result. If I can find my overly larger skull, it might be worth it. Ooh, and if I modify it a bit, I cooould make the alien skulls by elongating the back of the skulls a bit. Hmmm....
ANYways. Here's the tutorial video by Unhinged Productions I found that was the most useful. I should also note I have serious workshop envy of this guy. *drool*

Indiana Jones Sketch
Sketching! It's one of the best moments of a new Halloween design. Everything seems possible and factors like time, energy and cost are mere details. So here is the 2017 sketch, mapping out some of the big pieces and basic layout.
And a few side sketches--still in progress.
